Hearing Mark speak so highly of 'Faceless Man' just makes me so happy. My all time favourite Creed song. I know how much the song means to Scott but to hear the rest of the band speak so highly of it to this day is awesome. Human Clay is that album that I just can't live without.

“Time” is my favorite creed song!! Cool to hear that mark agrees!

As a person of faith but also a person who loves rock and heavy metal, Creed was on an island by themselves. Much respect to Creed for having integrity as a band and not changing for anyone.

It’s crazy this has less than 400 views. Chris- these interviews you do are absolutely incredible. I think people underestimate the skill required to dissect these songs and ask the perfect questions the way you do. Creed was my favorite band before I became a pop punk kid- so what an awesome listen!

When I see Mark solo it makes me want to quit playing guitar. 😂😂 So cool you had him on.
